Whatever, Mom Hip Mama's Guide to Raising a Teenager

Hip Mama's back-dispensing wisdom and humor to parents dreading the big 1-3 (or counting the days 'til 1-8). Marked by Ariel Gore's trademark wit and candor, and filled with the keen insights and concerns of a diverse group of teens (including Gore's own daughter, Maia), this spirited, honest guide proves that while adolescence necessarily spells the end to childhood, it doesn't have to mean the end of family harmony. Instead of fear and ultimatums, Gore offers parents a map, not simply for navigating those inevitable trials that come with kids growing older, but also for confronting the more unexpected life changes that moms and dads-who were "cool" themselves only yesterday-face as their parenting responsibilities and identities shift.Gore, Ariel is the author of 'Whatever, Mom Hip Mama's Guide to Raising a Teenager', published 2004 under ISBN 9781580050890 and ISBN 1580050891.
